Chapter 113
TL: Moonlit
Xiao Jiangs pupils contracted, struggling to get up but falling to the ground once again.
He shouted to the soldiers beside him, Bring the guns!
Old Xues face also turned pale. The hope that had just risen was shattered in an instant!
Xiao Hen was bitten!
Xiao Hen was injured!
Xiao Hen was infected!
This realization made Xiao Jiang and Old Xue feel as if their world was collapsing!
Although Xiao Hen wasnt Old Xues biological son, he was close enough to be considered one. Given Old Xues relationship with Xiao Jiang and the fact that Xiao Hen had always been under Old Xues command, he had always been Old Xues pride and joy, even closer than his own son. Even if he died here, Old Xue didnt want Xiao Hen to be infected!
Just before Xiao Hens body touched the ground, he thrust his knife into the lower jaw of the evolved corpse tiger with a reverse grip. Unfortunately, the knife was too short, and the head was too big, so it didnt penetrate directly.
The evolved corpse tiger tried to bite off Xiao Hens leg, but suddenly a sawed-off shotgun appeared in Xiao Hens hand from nowhere, and he fired it directly at the beasts head.
The evolved corpse tiger shook off Xiao Hen, howling and turning its head to avoid the attack. Its massive head was bloody and mangled, but it was still alive.
Xiao Jiang sat on the ground, holding a sniper shotgun, aiming at the evolved corpse tiger.
The evolved corpse tiger suffered severe head injuries and had gone mad. It kept pouncing and biting at Xiao Hen, ready to fight to the death.
Xiao Jiang and Old Xue focused all their attention on the battle between Xiao Hen and the evolved corpse tiger, oblivious to the chaos unfolding nearby.
After ordering the killing of a survivor, the survivors who had been following them scattered to escape the danger. Now, they had returned, without a second thought, pouncing and biting. The soldiers who were bitten immediately fell to the ground, only to stand up again after 5 seconds and attack others.
With someone opening the guns in the army, the situation became chaotic. The sound of shotguns echoed, quickly drawing Xiao Jiang and Old Xues attention.
Whats going on?!
They soon realized something was wrong. The survivors were biting people all around, and those who were bitten quickly got up and went to bite others. This situation was very familiar
Old Xue widened his eyes, Theyre Undead!
Since Xiao Hen brought news of the Undead to the Central Mega City, the research institute had quickly developed detection methods, but they hadnt found a single Undead until now. Yin Jiang often sneered and sarcastically mentioned the Third Districts cowardice and fear of death, believing that the news from the south, far away from them, couldnt scare them.
After saying it so many times, some people truly believed that the corpses only existed in the South and wouldnt come to the North. The gate inspections had started to slack off, and they never expected that these Undeads had already infiltrated the Central Mega City!
The infected soldiers all rushed toward the location where Xiao Jiang and Old Xue were. The guarding soldiers were a bit panicked, unsure whether to open fire in the face of their charging comrades.
Xiao Jiang became furious, Open fire! Kill them all! We cant let them infiltrate the city!
Old Xue sensed that something was off. According to Xiao Hens explanation, the Undead looked exactly like humans, and they couldnt be distinguished unless their blood was tested. However, the infected soldiers before them had stiff movements, shrunken flesh, and grayish-white eyesclear signs that they were not human. Were these really corpses?!
The guarding soldiers opened fire and attacked their heads, and the infected soldiers who lunged at them fell in batches.
Xiao Jiang and Old Xue were pulled back by nearby soldiers. A soldier who had originally been guarding in front of Xiao Jiang suddenly turned around, his teeth falling out as sharp sawtoothed teeth instantly grew, lunging at Xiao Jiang and biting towards his neck.
Be careful! Old Xue was greatly shocked.
Xiao Jiang kicked out, blocking the soldiers attack. With his intact arm, Old Xue pulled out the weapon from his waist and struck the soldier, killing him with such speed that it left people in awe.
Xiao Jiangs body trembled, and he swung the weapon to strike the soldier behind him. Old Xue swiftly followed suit, striking another soldier with the weapon. At a glance, he saw a knife embedded in Xiao Jiangs back, its blade buried deep!
Old Xue immediately raised the weapon and shouted, Back off! Everyone, back off!
Old Xue didnt know if there were any hidden Undead among the people around him. He could only use the weapon to force everyone back, not allowing them to approach. Whoever came closer would be struck down!
Old Xue anxiously wanted to call out to Xiao Hen, but Xiao Jiang stopped him. Dont call out, help me pull out the knife.
Pulling out the knife would cause bleeding, but if he didnt, Xiao Jiang couldnt move at all. Gritting his teeth, he growled, Pull it out!
Old Xue grabbed the knife handle and pulled it out, causing black blood to spray.
Looking at the black blood on the ground and the knife, Old Xues eyes turned bloodshot. Xiao Xiao
Xiao Jiang turned around and saw Old Xues hands covered in black blood, causing him to freeze.
This evolved corpse tiger was of a high level. While Xiao Hen was battling it, he heard the commotion not far away. With just a glance, he knew what was happening. Without hesitation, he led the evolved corpse tiger to rush over and intercepted the Undeads attacking Xiao Jiang and Lao Xue.
These soldiers infected by the Undeads couldnt even be considered Undead themselves. They had lost all consciousness and had turned into mindless monsters that only knew how to devour humans. These Undeads were of a lower level compared to the Undead, and Xiao Hen had discovered this back in the South City Base.
No matter how strong Xiao Hen was, trying to deal with an evolved corpse tiger and a group of Undeads would still leave room for mistakes. In front of so many people, he couldnt reveal the fact that he wasnt human. Therefore, he could only do his best to fight.
After colliding with the evolved corpse tiger once again, Xiao Hen leaped high, and his invisible spatial blades swept through the approaching group of Undeads, collecting their heads.
Xiao Hen observed and realized that the scattered survivors were the true Undeads.
Xiao Hen disappeared from his original position, going to harvest the creators of these Undeads.
He kept flashing among the crowd, killing one Undead after another. His spatial blades flew out continuously, toppling the Undeads. The evolved corpse tiger kept pursuing Xiao Hen, targeting him wherever he appeared.
Xiao Hen held the spatial blades in his hand, accumulating several of them and launching them toward the evolved corpse tiger. Finally, they pierced through its thick and tough fur, breaking through its skull!
A purple crystal, the size of a football, rolled onto the ground. Xiao Hen had never seen a beast crystal of this color and size before, but it was undoubtedly proof that this evolved corpse tiger was of a high level.
Xiao Hen collected the purple beast crystal, intending to give it as a gift to Wen Qingling. He should like it very much.
Xiao Hens spatial blades were capable of harming even an eighth-level evolved entity like the General. This evolved corpse tiger in front of him, as long as its level wasnt at the General level, could be slain by him.
The enormous evolved corpse tiger collapsed with a loud thud, finally freeing Xiao Hen to deal with these Undead and corpse monsters.
With his own strength, Xiao Hen cleared the entire field!
His long blade continuously dripped with black blood, dripping down from the tip of the blade.
Xiao Hen didnt know if there were any Undead among the surviving humans. He didnt have time to investigate now. He walked towards Xiao Jiang and Old Xue. Judging by their injuries, Old Xue was in worse condition than Xiao Jiang.
Xiao Hen crouched down and examined Old Xues injuries. Before Xiao Hen could speak, Old Xue said, Your leg
Xiao Hens clothes were stained with black blood, except for a red stain on one pant leg. Seeing the healthy red color, Old Xue was momentarily stunned.
Xiao Hen replied, Its nothing.
His leg had indeed been bitten, but he no longer felt any pain at the moment. It should have healed on its own.
Old Xues shoulder, covered in mangled flesh, continued to ooze black blood. Xiao Hen furrowed his brow. Is this injury from the evolved corpse tiger?
I got swiped by its claw Old Xue coughed up blood. Its good that youre back. We wont end up exposed in the corpse-infested wilderness
Xiao Hen pursed his lips tightly. He had an antidote in his hand, but it was ineffective against the infection caused by the evolved corpse tiger. Now, only Wen Qingling could save Old Xue. Out of habit, Xiao Hen reached into his backpack and took out a blood anemone. Blood anemones were living organisms and couldnt be stored in his spatial dimension. Wen Qingling had always kept them in his backpack, but he had now gone to the First District. Old Xues injuries were severe, covering a larger area. Xiao Hen was afraid that Old Xue wouldnt be able to wait for Wen Qingling and would give in.
If it really came to that, Xiao Hen might have to take action himself. He couldnt just stand by and watch Old Xue turn into a zombie Of course, even if he intervened, the outcome wouldnt be too pleasant. The gruesome sight would leave a deep impression, and he would still not be considered human. It might even anger Wen Qingling.
Xiao Hen glanced at the soldiers standing not far away. He got up and walked towards them, passing by in front of one soldier and stopping, his sharp eyes fixed on him. Have you seen the Corpse Mother?
The soldiers eyes flashed with surprise, but he quickly concealed it. He firmly believed that no one could recognize them unless they were caught and subjected to a blood test. It was impossible to distinguish them just by their appearance.
Report, Colonel! I dont understand what youre saying!
Xiao Hen had lost his hat and mask during the fight, and he swiftly struck the soldier with a single slash. The soldiers on both sides froze stiffly, obviously terrified.
Xiao Hen continued forward, slashing two more before addressing the remaining people. You, go bring the car over.
He pointed at the three bodies he had just killed. Take the bodies back.
He had killed three people in front of everyone. If he didnt provide an explanation, it wouldnt be acceptable. And if he said he could smell the scent of the Undead, no one would believe him. In that case, it would be better to bring the bodies back and have the research institute confirm their identities.
Hows your leg? When Xiao Hen returned again, Xiao Jiang finally spoke up.
Xiao Hen kept a cold expression. Its fine.
Xiao Jiang couldnt help but get angry when he saw Xiao Hens attitude. Bitten and you say its fine?!
Xiao Hen didnt want to argue with him and simply pulled up his pant leg to show him. There wasnt even a trace of a wound on his ankle; it had already healed.
Xiao Jiang and Old Xue both stared, as they had personally seen Xiao Hen being bitten on that leg. How could there be no wound?
Xiao Hen explained, I have self-healing abilities and antibodies. Being bitten doesnt matter.
With that sentence, Xiao Jiang and Old Xue relaxed their tensed bodies. Its good as long as nothing happened, its good!
Xiao Jiang let out a sigh of relief, but he didnt show it on his face. With a stern expression, he said, Since you left, why did you come back?
Old Xue remained silent.
Xiao Jiangs temper was starting to rise, preparing for an argument. Xiao Hen lowered his gaze and began bandaging Old Xue, trying to stop the bleeding as much as possible. In any case, I didnt come back specifically to save you.
Xiao Jiang coldly snorted, Looking down on Ling City and then coming back?
Xiao Hen continued his work without stopping. Dont misunderstand. I came back for a reason, and Ill leave soon.
Xiao Jiangs anger started to flare up again. Since you still want to leave, why bother coming back at all? If you came back, then dont think about leaving again!
Xiao Jiang fell silent and packed up the medical kit, storing it in his spatial dimension.
Old Xue sighed. Xiao Hen, take a look at your father, too.
